It’s
probably
unusual
for
a
defendant,
who
would
presumably
be
on
higher
alert
in
the
courtroom.
If
Donald
Trump
has
a
certain
degree
of
familiarity
with
sitting
in
courtrooms,
he
might
be
more
comfortable
with
that
and
more
prone
to
fall
asleep.





Sleep
medicine
physician
Audrey
Wells

tells
Slate

it’s
pretty
unusual
for
a
criminal
defendant
like
Donald
Trump
to
fall
asleep
in
the
courtroom.
However,
Wells
also
noted
Trump
is
at
higher
risk
for
a
sleep
disorder

sleep
apnea.
“His
age
puts
him
at
risk,
the
fact
that
he’s
male,
the
size
of
his
neck,
his
body
mass
index,
he’s
tired—all
of
those
things
are
worth
1
point
on
a
questionnaire
called
the
STOP-Bang,
and
scores
greater
than
3
indicate
a
moderate
to
high
risk
for
obstructive
sleep
apnea.”
